If you still don’t know what to choose between Netflix and Prime Instant Video, and keep comparing their resemblances, differences, quality and value. Please stop comparing the two services because you’d probably end up being more confused.

Besides, compering them is like comparing a tablet with an e-reader. You can read an ebook on a tablet with eye strain and other downsides. However, a tablet has obviously had many other features, whilst an e-reader is especially made for reading only.

Netflix is a video rental and streaming only service, so it is expected to have more content and a better streaming quality than Prime Instant Video. However, Prime Instant Video is only one of many Amazon Prime’s services and benefits.

In short, why should you choose if you can have both of those amazing services with their particular benefits? I love both Netflix and Prime Instant Video because they keep adding more and more great content to their video collection.

Somehow Prime Instant Video keeps surprising me with its rapidly-growing video collection. In fact, there are at least 10 Must-Watch TV shows on Prime Instant Video that you won’t find on Netflix:
